However, when Mischa insists they take a break from their relationship, Steve is forced to invite colleague and friend- of- sorts Rob Brydon. Coogan has a number of one- night stands, but is miserable both professionally and personally, despite being the bigger star; Brydon, with his young family, is more happy and affable. The two constantly bicker and attempt to undermine and humiliate each other with their impersonations of Michael Caine and Sean Connery, for example, especially in the presence of attractive women. The competitive atmosphere is occasionally broken by passages of amicable and spontaneous comic improvisation. Series two[edit]Rob and Steve are commissioned to do another restaurant tour, this time in Italy from Liguria to Capri, following in the footsteps of the great Romantic poets.
While on the tour, Rob wins a part in an American Michael Mann film. Origins[edit]Coogan and Brydon's roles as fictionalised versions of themselves are a continuation of their improvised performances in the film A Cock and Bull Story (2. Michael Winterbottom.[2] In an interview with The Guardian, Steve Coogan said he and Brydon exaggerated "the aspects of ourselves that help the comedy .. I like playing with the fact that it might be me, to give it a bit more edge. So some of the conversations with Rob are funny, but some of them are very uncomfortable. They're sort of genuine arguments. It's a sort of an exaggeration of real life."[2]Reception[edit]The Trip received positive reviews. Andrea Mullaney of The Scotsman said that "on paper, The Trip sounds bloody awful: a cosy, luvvie giant in- joke for Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon", but went on to describe it as "completely brilliant" and "hilarious".[3] Brian Viner of The Independent said: "The Trip never fails to oblige. I love it for its originality and its daring."[4] John Crace of The Guardian described the show as "one of the funniest things on TV."[5] Director Richard Curtis described the series as one of the greatest television programmes of all time at the 2. British Comedy Awards.[6] It was nominated for the 2.

Stephanie Zacharek of The Village Voice wrote that The Trip to Italy "is basically more of the same Trip .. Now we know just what to expect from Coogan and Brydon, although as long as you're willing to settle in for the ride, that's not necessarily a bad thing."[1. Scott Foundas of Variety found the series a "warmly enjoyable continuation of their improvised cultural and culinary adventures."[1. William Goss of Film. Plenty enjoyable for fans of the first one, but by the end, it also has the consistency of reheated comfort food."[1. Amber Wilkinson of The Daily Telegraph gave the film version of The Trip to Italy a grade B score, writing that Coogan and Brydon's "improvisation has been honed to the point where the jokes land solidly without losing naturalism and the pair of them are clearly enjoying la dolce vita."[1.
